Hey guys ! I made my choice on what ski to pick : new Line Blends!
I'm 175 cm and weight around 150 lbs, and i'm an advanced skier, and I ride everywhere, from park to groomers to trees, and sometimes light pow/ deeper pow...
The question is : what bindings should i get ? One of my friends got Sratch 120 and liked them, so I was wondering if it would be good for me ??
My budget is around 200-300$... do you think it's enough??? Any suggestion is welcomed!
Thx!!!

Scratch 120s sound perfect for you, what is your current din set at? if it is higher then 10 you should consider going to the Scratch 140s.

I would hold off on the griffons. They have yet to prove themselves.

Si ta un budget de 200-300$, j'dirais les STH 12 de Salomon, une fixation assez robuste et coutant au alentour de 280$ (Oberson, Andre Lalonde)
Je n'ai jamais vraiment aimer les fix bouteille tel les Ross 120

Ya well that's what everyone said about the Jesters last year. I copped a pair despite warnings and loved them, now everyone who doesn't use FKS or P18's wants Jesters.

that seems too high for your weight, you probably wont need more than 9 but all bindings are different i guess...

I mean specifically the griffons. Im still not really sold on the jesters, but an even more plasticy version of an already seemingly really plastic binding scares me

you're exaggerating how much plastic this binding is actually made out of. I've messed around with a pair and they seemed pretty damn solid, the only plastic on the binding is the upper heel piece and the toe piece casing, aside from that they're basically metal.
how are you not sold on the jesters? they're a GREAT binding have you ever skied them?

Yes ive skied them.
The onlything metal in the griffon is the fucking spring. Even on the jester, the heel still sits on a plastic track. The toe is primarily plastic, so is the heel.

actually it was not too much... they were doing there jobs pretty well, the boots getting out when it had to. I had 4frnt Deadbolt 07... They were great I thought but i had a deal on them.
